We stayed at gecko guesthouse for ten days and could have even stayed longer. The place is beautiful and because of the big outside area it’s easy to meet people and talk to other travelers. The rooms are small but very clean and the bed is very comfy. Thanks to the staff. They gonna help you whenever you need. We have had a beautiful time and would come here again 👍👍👍

Great vibes, could use a touch up”

The place is a very old fashioned hostel, looks like how hostels were a decade or two ago. Despite this, the place remains to be very popular and has many guests all the time. The hosts were very friendly and the other guests were amicable too. I think they could do a little housekeeping like some gardening so the plants stay clear of pathways, and perhaps buying new sheets. What I liked the most were the vibes though. Also, the common area had lots of

Overall just ok”

Room was unclean. Receptionist was lovely The tables area in the center were nice although maybe because of the pandemic there wasnt quite a social scene we were hoping for. They say not to put tissues in the toilet of the shared bathroom but dont provide lids on the bins which is not very female/menstruator friendly. It needs a bit of renovation (as do many places after the effects of the pandemic)

Weird place. It could be really really nice, but we had a weird private room with fan. It was hot inside and only a fan. It smelled and had mold. Not sure. we left on the first day as we could not stay there coz of the heat inside the room. Also windows could not be closed and we did not have something to put up a mosquito net.leaving was no problem, though. Staff was understandable and nice.

Loved that place”

The Gecko was very good located. Near the main road but very quiet. Roy was such a nice a guy and was helping me with everything I needed. The rooms a bit „older“ maybe some curtains and small lamps near every bed would be nice. The only negative thing was, that we were only ONE plug in the 10 bed dorm which everyone had to share! This is definitely something to improve. Other then that, i was very happy there. Also a good place to meet people. Would book there again!!!

Actually we went to Langkawi in a off season. otherwise as per the receptionist the place is full of life. Food was not available due to lack of staff. Location is decent. The place is quite near to the main shopping area. It is easily reachable & quite a known place among the tour organisers. I suggest this place.

Great hostel close to the beach. ”

Super relaxed hostel, really nice courtyard / communal area with the reception and a bar. Lots of cats and chickens running around. Breakfast was a good price and really nice. They also had a happy hour in the evening for drinks. Super close to the beach and lots of shops and restaurants (Thirstday is great for watching the sunset on the beach with a drink or dinner, little bit pricier than others but lovely food). Grab works well in the area.
